I'm currently working on my first bargello quilt because I have been so inspired by the many gorgeous ones posted here. My dumb question for the day is when I'm sewing my numbered strips together (after I cut them across), should I be having trouble with my stitching coming out as I'm lining up my seams & corners or is it just that you need to be really careful of how you handle them as you sew them into strips? The stitching just seems loose, and I worry it will unravel when I quilt it. Maybe I'm just overly-cautious. :roll:

I've currently got 3 out of the 4 pieces together, so only one more to go. I want to be sure I'm doing it correctly because I just ordered the Surf Song pattern book because I fell in love with the look of the "wavy" pattern and would like to know before attempting this bigger one. The one I'm working on now is just a small wall hanging.

Thanks for any tips on these beautiful bargellos.
